My goodness, what a shave!
With a two day growth for me using the R41 is now officially the ticket.
I'm finding however that the R41 demands a really sharp blade and I had to switch out the old blade (approx 5 use?) for a fresh one after the first pass.
Iced Pineapple is crazy delicious smelling.

Blade :Schick proline p30(2) sharp and smooth with reasonable longevity.
Soap : Razorock "The Dead Sea", nice fragranced soap + excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Sagrada Familia" 22mm 2band badger. Excellent lather generator, luxury pillow like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + great lather painter. Small handle but excellent knot makes for great shaving IMO.
